Free Money

We had a nice presentation on getting money for school via scholarships and grants today. Keep the scholarship you have (or a copy of it) for your portfolio requirement. Didn't have one today? Print one out (the application) and bring it in next week so I can see it - Thank you. I recommend 5 to 20 scholarship attempts because you can receive money for more than one! Ask for help, I'm here.

Thank you Sierra, Travis W., Lizeth and Xochilt. You all did a wonderful job today and Xochilt, you put in extra effort today. Thank you!

GHS: RALLY ON FRIDAY 2/17! I will expect all students to be at site unless I am notified of a modified site schedule or permission to be at school with me for P2 and P3. I will excuse you for the rally. Please remember to let me know if you are NOT going to site.

FEBRUARY is Career and Technical Education Month. CTE is another name for ROP (Regional Occupational Program). There is a PRIZE waiting for one or more of you by simply going to your career center, (DHS - Counseling) and enter a drawing to win a gift card for Starbucks or Jamba Juice! Bring me proof that you visited the career center (signed note) and I'll give you extra credit points.

So, you want a job do yah? Well, you're in luck. The skills you are learning now will help you in applying for work this summer. We are going to work on how to apply for jobs, the interview, resume, cover letter and references next week. This also includes how to fill out a W4 - the IRS form that indicates your tax deduction/status. Ask a parent if you are their favorite "tax deduction". Awwww.

Take care,

Mrs. Erceg
